Infrared thermometer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_thermometer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_thermometer Thermography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermography IDK what the standard error is for medical temperature estimation with an e.g. FLIR ONE thermal imaging camera for an Android/iOS device. https://www.flir.com/applications/home-outdoor/ https://www.flir.com/applications/home-outdoor/ I'd imagine that sanitization would be crucial for any clinical setting.

  I've got one of these and it's really good. The app sometimes get stuck, probably because it gets too much data and my phone is not fast enough. Cat also sells phones with integrated flir cameras: https://www.catphones.com/en-us/cat-s61-smartphone/#technical-specs https://www.catphones.com/en-us/cat-s61-smartphone/#technica...
